My girlfriend is trying to setup a home theater system for her parents. Pretty much what they want is surround sound to work when watching cable (Dish Network) and when watching movies on their DVD player. Right now surround sound only works on the DVD player (which is hooked up through the TV through HDMI). Speakers are plugged back into dvd player, dvd player is connected to TV via HDMI cable.
Question #1 Is there a way to get the setup to work like how they want it to?
Question #2 If there is no way, then what should they look for in a television in the future if they want such a setup to work?
